Towing dynamometer

SuperFlow's towing dynamometer is intended for thermal transient testing, ECU mapping, and driveline endurance testing. The device comes equipped with trailer lights, reflectors, and other features that make it highway-legal in the United States and Europe. To maintain desired load and speed profiles, the operator controls the dynamometer from the vehicle with either a handheld control system or the optional WinDyn software. The optional sensor module and WinDyn software allow the operator to perform terrain mapping. With a laptop, the operator can take the towing dyno on the road to collect data from different terrain profiles; an automated slope simulation test can then be performed on any test track by applying the mapped terrain data.
